"The Valley of Fear" is the last novel by Arthur Conan Doyle where the reader meets Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective. He and Doctor Watson arrive to a country manor to investigate a possible murder. After receiving a coded message, Holmes links the murder to the name in the message.

Detective fiction enthusiasts will not be disappointed. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was born in Scotland and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. After his studies, he worked as a ship’s surgeon on various boats. During the Second Boer War, he was an army doctor in South Africa.

He published four novels and more than 50 short-stories starring the detective and Dr Watson, and they play an important role in the history of crime fiction.
